Nicky ElisabethMelodic and Hypnotic

WITH A NEW OST ATMOSPHERIC TECHNO SCENE, THIS DJ STAR FROM AMSTERDAM DEBUTS IN IBIZA FOLLOWING ANOTHER STOP IN MIAMI.

̈Everything started at 17, ̈ she says, ̈when I got to Amsterdam and the electronic scene trapped me. It didn ́t take me long to start spinning, organizing events and working at one of the big- gest clubs in the city, De Marktkantine”. Nine years have passed since then, filled with her nights, her parties and her sessions – counting the ones that she bills with her party, Navalon – and the results are there: prizes, contests and various recognitions.

̈Vinylized is the electronic music excellence award in Holland; winning there put me on the map as a producer. Internationally, I was in the Bumble app contest, which is an initiative called Making Moves in Music. There were 500 women that partici- pated and only five made it to the final round. And in the end,I was the last one standing. ̈

From there, she made the jump to Miami, where she performed in the Where Ultra Music Festival, which is where she ́ll be heading back again this summer to the main stage Mysteryland. What ́s the best part of all this? Nicky Elisabeth knows: ̈all of this has instilled in me the capacity to believe in myself. ̈ In practice, this is equivalent to a precise ex- ecution of a certain style that she describes as ̈melodic techno without choppy elements, and with a lighter atmosphere that still has that hypnotic effect. ̈ Fan of DJ and producer Mano Le Tough and duo Âme, Nicky comes to Ibiza for the first time as a professional - ̈I was here as a kid, on vacation. ̈ - with her re- cently-signed contract with Kompakt agency, which represents artists like Kölsch, Michael Mayer and Gui Boratto. And perhaps most importantly, with her first single, which Astralwerks will edit this summer
